This is really fun! Nice job.

Small issue: I accidentally right-clicked one of the arrow buttons and it stuck in the pressed position, causing the snake to curl into itself and end my game before I could left-click out of the context menu.

There is a level editor with the ability to show the optimal result for a custom level. In theory, one could recreate any official level and reveal the best solution that way. However, I haven't tried this to verify any intentional roadblocks by the developer.

I'm curious what the issue is with using Handbrake? I use it all the time on macOS and it's generally a simple and effective tool for my purposes.

Oof. I'm glad I turned down the volume in response to this warning. Why not just remove this awful sound?

I'm down to just one unmatched expression, but it's going to require undoing many others to fix.

With so many wildcards (`.*`) involved, it feels as though making a few assumptions along the way is unavoidable. If I start over and only make moves I can prove are correct, I don't get very far.

Edit: Solved! :)

I don't know if this is so much a fallacy as it is a questionable assumption which disregards prudential reasoning.

Wouldn't NASA then almost certainly be aware of this as well?

Is this functionally different from a typical license key or activation key?

Off-topic, so I hope not to spark too much side discussion here.

While I agree with your correction and this always bugs me, the common usage of the phrase "begs the question" seems to have become synonymous with "raises the question", as opposed to what I understand to be its former — and perhaps original — meaning which was associated with the informal logical fallacy by the same name.
